There is a lesser version of this spell, ''Blood of the Dragon'', which costs only 20 motes, and allows the caster to drain the power in his Hearthstone. It lasts only one hour, giving the Solar most of the bonuses above, but without the Essence Regeneration and the Attribute bonuses. However, it also lacks the drawback of draining the Solar's Essence afterwards, or destroying his Manse. The Hearthstone thus drained loses its power for a full day afterwards.

The Sorcerer, serving as a gateway to this power, receives one Unsoakable, Automatic level of Aggravated Damage per dot of Magnitude of the group. In addition, Celestial Exalted who happen to be part of this army feel the effects differently. The heroic souls are within them, and their echoes come to the fore! They become rallying points for the army, their Anima Banner perpetually burns at the 15-motes level, any expenditure making them iconic. The echoes overwhelm them, each of their movements trailed with afterimages not their own, their voices an unsettling mesh of a hundred different heroes speaking in unison.

This spell lasts until the Sun next looks upon the world, or when it leaves it. That being, the next twilight or dawn to come after the casting of the spell. All those who fall in battle while under the auspices of this spell will be remembered as heroes by man and god alike. All those who survive will always long for the greatness and camaraderie of that battle, some dying with their hearts burning for that moment, some seeking that greatness and becoming Chosen themselves.

This gives them the following powers...

*''Chosen of Secrets'' reveal all secrets of the battlefield. Every turn, the Chosen can choose any single foe within 50 yards, and reveal his secret actions and intentions to all allies within this area. This foe's actions can be named by the Chosen or his allies(as long as it is reasonable to do). The foe either does this action, or can act as they wish, but at a penalty of half the Chosen's Permanent Essence(rounded up) for that turn.

Should they botch the Conviction roll, they leave the battle in the safest manner possible, defending only, if possible. This compulsion can be ignored by spending 1 extra willpower.

Dragon-Blooded on this army all receive Legendary Breeding for the duration of the spell, receiving the brilliant features of their aspect, more elemental than man! Even more impressively, Dragon-Blooded of the appropriate aspect receive a number of automatic successes in all their Aspect Abilities equal to their Essence, their elemental nature so sublimated that their animas burn continually at the 15-motes level, the elemental symbol mentioned above shining on their forehead or above their heart.

'''Forge of Endless Rebirth'''<br>

−

'''Cost:''' 60 motes<br>

−

For one who can shatter the world ideals such as identity, life and fate are ephemeral and malleable like metal to be forged in any other shape they wish! The Sorcerer starts this spell in a Circle of scrambled stars and broken gossamer, burning everything in a pyre of smokeless flames. All who walk within take Aggravated damage as if from a bonfire unless she steps inside wishing to cast away life and identity. Those who do so must be dressed in their most ceremonial and bring icons respective of each of their Virtues to cast to the fire. Offered this way they will burn even if made of the Five Magical Materials. As the Sorcerer recites the words of Fate Shattered and Identity Lost the one within the bonfire rips her clothes and her own skin, shedding her spirit into and letting the fire make her anew! 

−

Those who go through the Forge lose their former self. Their name is no longer their own, and neither is their Fate; All Astrology Effects and other effects based on Fate cease their effects, and no Charm or Spell that searches the character by name and identity can be successful. The one she used to be is lost to the world. 

−

Going through the Forge of Endless Rebirth a character may choose a new name and change all of her character sheet, spending all of her Experience without training times, rearranging Ability dots, Attribute dots, Background dots(even as far as remaking Artifacts she is currently attunned to) and Virtue dots, within their own categories freely, shifting Charms for others, adding, removing or exchanging Charms, changing their Nature and Limit Condition! The reborn form may be of any age desired, returning Mortals and Exalted to their prime or even their childhood! 

−

She may create a whole new story of their lives if she wishes, which the world verifies as being real, although beings of equal or higher Essence than her will know this story has just been created. She may also choose to just be a being that was created from whole cloth from the ashes of her former life as well. The former life is still remembered by all, but merely as a dream by she who goes through the Bonfire, without any emotional connection to what was.

'''Gather the Prismatic Raiment'''<br>

−

'''Cost:''' 50 motes<br>

−

Holding a prism to the sunrise the Sorcerer weaves the myriad of shades that come through, drawing on the power of the hidden heaven from the sun's magnificence, appropriating its lights before they are revealed to the world! Around the Solar shine the colors of the night sky in a fulgurant display! Until the night falls the sorcerer will be surrounded by the colors in a defensive display, from an arrangement of planets to chromatic waves, extending up to the Sorcerer's Essence in yards from him. Any who dare step through this aegis is battered by the lights, by the powers of the Hidden Heaven! Stepping into this area...

−

* ... one has to endure the Weary Yellow, which makes it appear as if moving towards the Sorcerer takes miles upon miles! The trespasser must immediatly roll Stamina+Endurance for fatigue with the difficulty increased by the Sorcerer's Essence or suffer from Fatigue! Chosen of Journeys and those immune to Fatigue are too used to such hardships to be affected by it. 

−

* ... one has to resist the Serene Blue, whose siren song is that of pleasures eternal. The trespasser must roll Temperance+Resistance with a difficulty equal to his own Perception or be taken by pleasure, unaware of the world in a blissful reverie for a number of turns equal to the Solar's Essence(which may abort their action against the Solar); Blissful trespassers are unaware of any attacks made against them, although they are snapped out of the reverie immediatly if they are hurt in any way! Chosen of Serenity and those immune to sensation(such as able to ignore wound penalties) are too used to pleasure to be hindered by it.

−

* ... one has to withstand the Bloodthirsty Red, whose heat burns and cuts like red-hot blades! The trespasser must resist Enviromental Damage from the heat blades with a difficulty equal to the Sorcerer's Valor and damage equal to the Sorcerer's Willpower! Chosen of Battles and those immune to heat and fire are too used to the violent ways of heat to be damaged by it.

−

* ... one has to understand the Mysterious Green, which misdirects and harrows the mind! The trespasser must roll Wits+Lore with a difficulty equal to the Sorcerer's Lore(plus any applicable specialties) or be blinded by the torrent of scattered knowledge for the remainder of the Scene! Chosen of Secrets and those immune to mental influence are not bothered by such misdirections.

−

* ... one has to survive the Scything Violet, which cuts away at life and soul! The trespasser must roll Conviction+Essence with a difficulty equal to the Sorcerer's Awareness. Should the trespasser fail all Essence he currently has committed to Charms is freed, all such Charms instantly cancelled. Mortals die outright. Chosen of Endings and those of inviolate Essence can withstand such terrible light!

−

* ... one has to resist the Warping Silver, which twists the flesh to terrible whims! The trespasser must roll against exposure to the Wyld(a Willpower+Essence as detailed in '''Exalted: The Lunars''' page 208) with the difficulty of a Middlemarch(3) or suffer from a Defficience chosen by the Sorcerer. Lunar Exalted and those immune to Shapeshifting or the ravages of the Wyld can safely stride through this twisted light!

−

All those must be resisted in order when one trespasses!

−

This spell can also be used to cover an stationary area which the Sorcerer can cover during the one hour of Dawn. Used in this way it is named ''Raise the Prismatic Fortress''!

Line 123:

Line 92:

Most such Manses on Creation were destroyed during the Usurpation, but a couple remained. Wether that is due to the rumored rare artifact that allows Celestial Exalts to use this particular Spell, or due to the rumor that exists a spell to bind this Heart's Place to a person other than its Creator, usually a great friend or lover, or even due to the fact the Manse may absord dreams and become a living and sentient being on its own... is unknown.

'''The Orrery of Lives'''<br>

−

'''Cost:''' 50 motes<br>

−

There are many possibilities to Fate. A hidden truth of Creation is that any given Mortal can accomplish a thousand things under the sun, and any given Exalted has as many possibilities before him as the stars in the sky! But even the Exalted have only so much time. Possibilities pass by even the Chosen, glimpses of lives they could have led, of truths they could have known, forever cast into the Forbidding Manse of Ivy. But this should not be so! The Adamant Sorcerer can shatter the bonds of choice, offering others glimpses of all they could have been, of all they could still be! Drawing a circle in the ground the Solar describes the Eyes of Sacherevell and the spheres of She Who Lives In Her Name in the celestial order, shining with the Incarna and arranged in the manner of ''possibility.'' The subject of this spell must meditate for at least one hour before the twilight on the center of this Circle so as to be between conscience and dream by the time the sky shifts in a dozen possible hues. The Essence is spent as twilight fills the sky, bringing the circle to life around its subject as a dazzling celestial arrangement of mirrors and words that seems to stretch into forever, each describing a life that could have been led, a choice that could have been made, a story that could have happenned if not for outside factors.

−

For an hour the character disappears within the orrery, being seen only as glimpses within the endless reflective surfaces of this arrangement. In this hour the character goes through many lives, seeing what could have been, an eternity in an instant. The character who goes through the Orrery(which may or may not be the Sorcerer) may raise a number of traits equal to her Conviction score without training time and at a discount of 2 Experience Points(minimum 1). The Sorcerer must roll her Essence when this proccess starts, giving the subject a number of insights in the nature of her life and the universe equal to the number of successes rolled! Should the Sorcerer roll more successes than her Essence rating the subject walks out of the orrerry with a token of power from her experiences, as powerful or powerless as appropriate, whereas should the Sorcerer botch the character will believe her life went as one of the reflections rather than the way it truly went. The time spent in the Orrery may be as brief as a short mention or the basis for entire sessions of play. No one may go through the Orrery of Lives more often than once per Season.

'''The Birth of Angels'''<br>

−

'''Cost:''' 50 motes<br>

−

Not even the mightiest chosen can conquer death. The dead cannot return... but to be freed from the Mortal Coil is not the end! Defying Heaven and Underworld, before the fallen can be taken by Soul Collectors or pass into a Ghost the Solar describes a lotus of light beneath the fallen, offering them the chance to live on. Should they accept their spirit rises in ambrosial flames, unfettered by Heaven and Death and clad in the icons of their Virtue! The dead becomes a Guardian Spirit of their allegiance, immaterial in Creation and vulnerable to all things that target his type of Spirit, possessing...

−

* ... all memories, Virtues, Nature and the Higher Soul of the fallen.

−

* ... all Traits possessed in Life, including most Backgrounds(but not those dependent on the body, such as Breeding).

−

* ... Permanent Essence of 2 or half the one possessed in life rounded up, whichever is higher.

−

* ... a number of Spirit Charms equal to the sum of his Virtues.

−

* ... Soak and Powers of an Artifact 5 Armor as Divine Armor, be it as ''Tougher than Hell'' or ''Orichalcum Hide.''

−

In the Primordial War the Sun used a power of this magnitude to bring out his Greatest Generals as Spirits, those who now staff the upper eschelons of the Weather Army and the Honor Guard of the Jade Pleasure Dome. Gaia has made many of those who loved her children into Animal Avatars or Elemental Dragons. The Maidens have never defied Fate.

−

Should this Spell be cast as a Zenith Caste Solar burns the body to send the soul Heavenwards, the Guardian Spirit goes through an apotheosis of enlightement and receives +1 to both his Essence, Willpower and Virtues. Should the Guardian Spirit have known Martial Arts in life the Spirit Charms may be spent in it instead, but those that cannot be purchased need to be re-learned as if the character had a tutor as the techniques are adapted to his new Essence flows.
